FWS mcnary NWR - herbicide requirement

The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service seeks 115 gallons of Plateau (ammonium salt of imazapic) and 115 gallons of Rejuvra (indaziflam), or equal products, for McNary National Wildlife Refuge, with quotes due September 1, 2026, at 5:00 PM EST. Amendment 001, effective August 24, 2026, extended the original August 28 deadline and added a critical licensing requirement: vendors distributing herbicides directly into Washington must hold an active Washington Pesticide Dealer License under RCW 15.58.180 and provide the license number with their quote; the apparent successful vendor must possess an active license prior to award.

This is a total small business set-aside, though the SBA Nonmanufacturer Rule class waiver for NAICS 325320 permits small-business vendors to supply products manufactured by other-than-small manufacturers. Place of performance is McNary National Wildlife Refuge, 497 Gallant Road, Burbank, Washington, with delivery required within 14 days of award and no later than October 30, 2026.

All herbicides must be registered for use in Washington and Oregon. All quoted firm-fixed prices must include applicable Washington taxes, licensing fees, and registration costs, with no post-award price adjustments permitted. Award will be made using Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology, evaluating Technical Acceptability (Pass/Fail), Past Performance (Pass/Fail), and Price. Questions are due August 26, 2026, at 12:00 PM EST to lawrence_aragon@ios.doi.gov. Quotes remain valid for at least 60 calendar days from the RFQ closing date.
